As the case stands, however, I nowaddress myself to It's performance.The tliiancial condition of the State seemsas satisfactory as could be wished at anyrate expected, under that enormous andnecessary burden of taxation which therecent warof treason, with its incidents, hasImposed upou our people.Comparing the satements of the Auditorof Statu for the last and the current years,wo 11 ml :The total receipts from all sources duringthe liscal year of 1M5 to have been Si;! 1!HI010 81, against those of 1K(U s 07!)

The appropriations of 1S05were much higher than in 1SG4.This must be a satisfactory reasonto the General Assembly.3d.
